“…Dermatoscopic structures and colors together help differentiating between melanocytic and nonmelanocytic lesions [20]. There are no defined dermatoscopy patterns for hidrocystomas, but this method helps to exclude other tumoral lesions, such as basal cell carcinoma or sebaceous hyperplasia.…”

Background: Eccrine hidrocystomas are rarely described benign cystic lesions, mainly presenting in middle-aged women in the centrofacial area and usually associated with a chronic course, seasonal variability and no proved and consistently efficacious treatments. Case Report: We report 2 patients, a 45- and a 56-year-old woman, with multiple facial eccrine hidrocystomas suggested by dermatoscopy, confirmed by histology and treated with botulinum toxin A with excellent results. Conclusion: Our report stresses the role of dermatoscopy in the diagnosis and follow-up of these lesions, as well as the impact of repeated treatments with botulinum toxin A in eccrine hidrocystomas suggesting it as a first-line treatment for multiple eccrine hidrocystomas because it is easy to use and has no risk of scars.

“…Dermoscopy (dermatoscopy or epiluminescence microscopy) is a noninvasive technique using an illuminated camera that allows visualization of skin structures, which are invisible to the unaided eye . This diagnostic tool links microscopic histopathological evaluation with macroscopic clinical examination by magnifying skin lesions at the level of the hair follicle, epidermis, the dermoepidermal junction and the papillary dermis . Because dermoscopy can be performed with or without contact, it is well suited for examining children .…”

“…Characteristic comma and corkscrew hairs are associated with both ectothrix and endothrix types of fungal invasion . Hairs with multiple twists and coils are a result of partial damage to hair shafts filled with hyphae or damage to the hair cuticle . Both comma and corkscrew hairs have been documented in people with tinea capitis due to dermatophytes of the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum (Figure ) .…”

“…In our view, the dermoscopic finding of reddish background colors histopathologically suspiciously corresponds to edematous stromas of poromas, and that finding may be a hint to differentiate poromas from melanocytic or other nonmelanocytic pigmented tumors. With regard to the management of the lesions, most of the cases in our series and previous reports did not present with typical features of seborrheic keratosis or basal cell carcinoma on dermoscopy, and based on the 2-step algorithms [7], the possibility of malignant melanoma still remained before biopsies.…”

Background: To date, little is known about the dermoscopic features of pigmented poromas. Methods: Twelve cases of pigmented poromas examined by dermoscpy at the Department of Dermatology, Shinshu University Hospital (Matsumoto, Japan), between January 2000 and February 2009 were collected. Retrospectively, digital dermoscopic images were evaluated for the presence of dermoscopic structures. Results: Vascular structures were observed in 8 of 12 cases. Hairpin vessels were found in 3 cases. Most were elongated and irregularly shaped. Polymorphous vessels were observed in 3 cases, of which 2 showed combinations of dotted vessels and linear-irregular vessels and 1 combinations of hairpin vessels and glomerular vessels. Arborizing vessels were observed in 2 cases. Globule-like structures occurred in 7 cases. Globule-like structures and arborizing vessels coexisted in 2 cases. Comedo-like openings were observed in 3 cases, all of which were accompanied by hairpin vessels. Conclusions: Pigmented poromas mimic a number of skin tumors, including pigmented basal cell carcinomas, seborrheic keratosis and malignant melanoma, because they present various clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological features.
